CMA Refund Policy

REFUND OF CMA DUES

The Board of Trustees, at their June 1979 meeting, and as reconfirmed by the MEC in July 2006, approved the following policy regarding the refund of prepaid dues. Dues refunds will be made only on request of a component society and only if the society takes similar action with respect to local dues.

Refunds may not be made by deducting the amount from a current or future transmittal. In most cases, refunds are typically not granted if the member has utilized benefits or services that year.

You may request a refund for CMA dues as well as the automatic CALPAC or MEF allocation. All rules that apply to refunds apply to both the CMA dues and automatic CALPAC or MEF allocation.

Subject to the rules hereinabove, refunds of prepaid dues may be granted when requested in the following circumstances ("Events"):

Death

Relocation of practice out of state

Revocation of license by MBC

Hardship waivers

Leaves of absence

Accidental transmittal by CMS
